Raised in Alberta, Sterling Haynes received his medical degree from the University of Alberta. He served as a colonial officer in Nigeria and practised medicine in the Cariboo, Alberta and Alabama. Now retired, he lives in Westbank, BC, and travels extensively in Central America. His articles and poetry have been published in journals including 'The Canadian Journal of Rural Medicine' and the 'Medical Post'.
Review
"...With self-deprecating humor he relates how he sweated as he removed a hatchet from a patient's brain under telephone guidance from a Vancouver neurosurgeon, how he hovered over the patient terrified that the venous sinus he had closed would start bleeding again, then gaped in amazement when the patient eloped to watch his buddy (who had implanted the hatchet in his head during an argument) compete in the bronc riding at the Williams Lake Stampede."
-Joan R. Stogryn MD, British Columbia Medical Journal
